Full Description
View Full DescriptionThe only major change to the Les Paul Standard in 1959 was the addition of wider fatter Jumbo frets, which facilitated more dramatic bends. The real force of this change was not felt until the late 1960's, when rock and blues players like Eric Clapton, Mike Bloomfield, and Peter Green began to discover the fat, warm voice of the 59 Standard. This moment in history marked the beginning of the idealization of the 59 Les Paul as the Holy Grail of guitars in the minds of professionals, collectors and weekend warriors.
